This choice: At how big you've gotten, you were so skinny as a child." • Go Back...
Chapter #4
Stressed Out. Fattened Out
by: Unknown
"I haven't gotten that big... have I?" you ask as take the time to look at your own body. It had been a while since you actually took notice of it, not since you were given this position actually and was loaded with all kind of responsibilities. Back then you were as thin as normal, but somehow between that short time you started to pack on the pounds to the point of growing quite a bit rounder and softer. "You think it's just my metabolism slowing down with maturity or could it be a glandular problem?" In your panic you pulled lever, signalling for a servant to come aid you. "Oh, King Bowser won't be happy if he finds out there's something wrong with me."
"Get a hold of yourself," your friend says grabbing your shoulders to keep you still. "You're perfectly fine. The only problem is your worrying yourself obese."
"What are you talking about?" you ask confused.
"I didn't want to bring it up since I thought a bit of pudge might be good for you and you would learn to mellow out, but I'm starting to see this is something that you need help with. When you get nervous you can't sleep and you probably do a whole lot of things you don't even realize. For instance, you start calling in servants to bring you food."
"Don't be ridiculous."
"Then why did you call a servant in here for?"
As the servant arrived, you listed off a list of foods, drinks, and snacks you desired and sent them off. It was only when they left that you saw what your friend was talking about.
"You're right. The second I get nervous I try to calm my nerves with food."
"Yeah, and the more nervous you get the more you order. It wasn't too problematic before, but his whole matter with King Bowser's visit is pushing it to dangerously high levels. You should just relax and let me handle it."
"I guess you're right," you replied and gave a sigh of relief. "I doubt King Bowser would like to see me fat as a cow."
"Sir," said a messenger rushed to you. "I have an important message for you."
You took the message and gave him a coin for his work. You're calmed mood was suddenly shattered by nerves as you read the message.
"What's wrong?" your friend asked.
"T- t- two days? King Bowser is coming a day earlier!" And just like that you were feeling more nervous than ever before.
